Nothing like a little history to get the blood flowing. Made a trip to Bass Pro Shops/Cabela’s in Missouri last week and made a detour to visit this Civil War battlefield. It is one thing to read about events, but there is nothing like seeing it with your own eyes. I have always enjoyed walking battlefields - it gives you an understanding of how terrain shapes tactics and insight in to the outcome. I brought my Jarosz Flipper Folder with me. The BK62 seemed like overkill.

Knock Off Alert: Where to begin on this one. 1.) China. This should be the first red flag. This item is made in the USA. 2.) Steel. The real knife is made of 1095 Cro-Van. 3.) Sheath. Not even close to the real thing. 4.) Length. The actual length of the real product is 9.375. 5.) Price. You get what you pay for. The MSRP of the actual product they are trying to copy is $102.90. This product may say "KA-BAR", but don't be fooled. Be sure to buy from reputable sellers. If a deal is too good to be true, it is.

Denney Knives: I read about China actually copying name brand knives a few years back in Blade magazine. Sometimes too good to be true is too good to be true.

Hasan Mujtaba: actually they part of a big community there who buy their own product and bring it on top of the search results on eBay,..... this is a big shit, I can guess $ 35 is not even the cost of the knife, and they provide third class product with free shipping just to damage brands. Terrible people....

On December 7, 1941 the attack on Pearl Harbor plunged the United States in to World War II. World War II is a huge part of the story of KA-BAR. The years following the December 7 attack would not only shape KA-BAR, but world events and those that experienced them.
